Checkmate Strategic Services helps clients to reduce risks. Think of us as strategists and advisors helping you to balance security effectiveness, cost efficiency, and business continuity. We offer tailored consulting services to establish or improve security protocols and implement strategies for responding to security incidents.
Depending on client requirements, Checkmate can assess existing physical or operational security to identify vulnerabilities and then design appropriate layered security measures to improve the client’s security posture. Checkmate can also provide or arrange training for individuals, family members or employees.
Areas of consultation include:
- Corporate Vulnerability Assessments – Systematically identifying, evaluating and prioritizing security weaknesses in a commercial property or workplace before they can be exploited by hostile actors. Deliverables include prioritized recommendations to address areas of concern and identification of responsible parties for each of those issues. Recommendations could include access control, physical security measures, procedural improvements, recommended staff training, or emergency preparedness planning.
- Residential Security Reviews – Assessing and recommending security measures based on the assessed threat to one’s home or family. The objective here is to detect weaknesses that could expose occupants to intrusion, theft, surveillance, or other hazards. Residential security consulting usually includes a physical vulnerability assessment, but also might entail pattern of life analysis, staff background checks, travel risks, or threat awareness training. Deliverables include rating existing safety levels across key domains, producing a vulnerability map showing areas of concern on the property, upgrade recommendations and identification of lifestyle risks with recommended mitigation.
- Hostile Termination Support – This may be one of the most sensitive and potentially dangerous situations a company executive may face. Proper preparation minimizes risk to people, property, and company operations. Checkmate Security Services will help you plan the termination and can assist you in the event itself if desired. Hostile termination support includes determining the likelihood of violence (generating an employee profile), identifying the individual’s company access, coordinating the necessary security presence, preparing the environment, and then executing the notification in a way that maintains the individual’s dignity. It may also include monitoring social media for signs of continuing risk or preventing the individual from returning to the property.
